That 480 has the AXP cooler so it takes up 3 slots. If that is not a problem for you then definitely get it because it will keep the card very cool and quiet. Amazing price. Practically half of what I paid for mine in September ($470). Gotta love deals like that. Newegg just had a deal for a 5870 for $180 and they were going $400 a year ago due to the late Fermi release.Edited by Draygonn - 4/5/11 at 11:10pm
